Gareth has been successfully working in primary schools since 2016, offering a wide range of workshops suitable for EYFS, KS1 and KS2. He lives in Nottingham but is happy to travel throughout the country. His workshops are often linked to his books, but also cover generating ideas, character creation, as well as storytelling and drama activities to inspire and enthuse.

Gareth has worked with children his entire adult life and as such he can guarantee you a fun-packed day, delivered in ways that are appropriate for the children's age (and ability), with excellent communication skills. One of his author visits will leave lasting memories and impact.

He has an enhanced DBS check and his own PLI.
